Project description:In order to obtain a global view of energy metabolism pathways of the sulfate-reducer Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough and the proteins involved therein whole-genome microarrays were used to compare the transcriptional response of cells grown with hydrogen/sulfate, pyruvate/sulfate, lactate/thiosulfate, and pyruvate with limiting sulfate, relative to growth in standard lactate/sulfate condition. Growth with hydrogen/sulfate showed the largest number of differently expressed genes and the largest changes in expression levels. The most up-regulated energy metabolism genes were those coding for the periplasmic [NiFeSe] hydrogenase, followed by the Ech hydrogenase, and the most down-regulated were genes coding for the Coo hydrogenase. The results point to the involvement of formate cycling and the ethanol pathway during growth on hydrogen, whereas there is evidence for CO cycling during growth on lactate and pyruvate, but not on H2. Growth with thiosulfate showed the hallmarks of a reduced energy status of the cells with down regulation of the ATP synthase and the Qmo and Dsr complexes., whereas growth with pyruvate showed the smallest differences but an increased role for the Ech hydrogenase.that in this case functions in reverse from the case of growth with H2. The multiple periplasmic hydrogenases and formate dehydrogenases, do not display the same regulation pattern showing that their metabolic roles are not totally interchangeable. This result together with the observation that several genes coding for proteins that have not been biochemically characterised were considerably affected in this study, reveals a more complex energy metabolism than previously considered and provides guidance for further studies.

Project description:In order to genetically determine the essential components of electron flow during respiration of sulfate by the anaerobe Desulfovibrio desulfuricans G20, a growth mode independent of sulfate is needed. However, a mutant of the G20 strain, I2, lacking the abundant type-1 tetraheme cytochrome c3 (TpI-c3), was found to be altered in growth with sulfate. Here we report that I2 does not reduce sulfate with electrons from pyruvate. In contrast, in the absence of sulfate, fermentative growth of I2 on pyruvate actually yielded slightly greater cellular protein than G20. When provided lactate with sulfate or when fermenting pyruvate, I2 produced more hydrogen and accumulated little if any succinate. G20 grows by fumarate dismutation and accumulates the theoretical 2:1 ratio of the end products, succinate and acetate, respectively. In contrast, I2 did not grow on fumarate alone. We inferred that TpI-c3 might be required for transfer of electrons to the membrane-bound fumarate reductase or for establishing a redox environment needed to trigger synthesis of the enzymes for succinate production. Microarray and proteomic analyses of gene and protein expression in I2 compared with G20 were consistent with increases in those enzymes predicted to be necessary for the generation of end products measured. These results support a role for the periplasmic TpI-c3 in electron flow from pyruvate to sulfate and in establishing conditions for enzyme production for fumarate dismutation. In addition, evidence for the simultaneous operation of respiratory electron flow and substrate-level phosphorylation was obtained from end product analysis. Strains I2 and G20 of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans were grown in different media. Four biological replicates of G20 on lactate media, and two biological replicates of G20 on Pyruvate media were compared with three replicates of I2 on lactate media and two replicates of I2 on pyruvate media.

Project description:Background. Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough is a sulfate-reducing bacterium (SRB) that is intensively studied in the context of metal corrosion and heavy-metal bioremediation, and SRB populations are commonly observed in pipe and subsurface environments as surface-associated populations. In order to elucidate physiological changes associated with biofilm growth at both the transcript and protein level, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses were done on mature biofilm cells and compared to both batch and reactor planktonic populations. The biofilms were cultivated with lactate and sulfate in a continiouslly fed biofilm reactor, and compared to both batch and reactor planktonic populations. The functional genomic analysis demonstrated that biofilm cells were different compared to planktonic cells, and the majority of altered abundances for genes and proteins were annotated as hypothetical (unknown function), energy conservation, amino acid metabolism, and signal transduction. Genes and proteins that showed similar trends in detected levels were particularly involved in energy conservation such as increases in an annotated ech hydrogenase, formate dehydrogenase, pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase, and rnf oxidoreductase, and the biofilm cells had elevated formate dehydrogenase activity. Several other hydrogenases and formate dehydrogenases also showed an increased protein level, while decreased transcript and protein levels were observed for putative coo hydrogenases as well as a lactate permease and hyp hydrogenases for biofilm cells. Genes annotated for amino acid synthesis and nitrogen utilization were also predominant changers within the biofilm state. Ribosomal transcripts and proteins were notably decreased within the biofilm cells compared to exponential-phase cells but were not as low as levels observed in planktonic, stationary-phase cells. Several putative, extracellular proteins (DVU1012, 1545) were also detected in the extracellular fraction from biofilm cells. Even though both the planktonic and biofilm cells were oxidizing lactate and reducing sulfate, the biofilm cells were physiologically distinct compared to planktonic growth states due to altered abundances of genes/proteins involved in carbon/energy flow and extracellular structures. In addition, average expression values for multiple rRNA transcripts and respiratory activity measurements indicated that biofilm cells were metabolically more similar to exponential-phase cells although biofilm cells are structured differently. The characterization of physiological advantages and constraints of the biofilm growth state for sulfate-reducing bacteria will provide insight into bioremediation applications as well as microbially-induced metal corrosion. Biofilms grown in reactors were compared to reference samples of reactor, planktonic and batch, planktonic. Each sample had a biological triplicate.
